There has been a pronounced increaso of book readers at Dunedin recently. Tho chief librarian, Mr. W. B. McEwan, said to-day that indications pointed to the at tendance figures at the Public Library being well ahead of those for last year. The lending departments had been very busy all the winter, as had thq reference department, which had had a very heavy winter season. An interesting fact was that a large number of teachers and exstudents during the holidays availed themselves of the opportunity of refreshing their minds in the reference" department. " There is never any falling off in the- attendances in- tho reading rooms," said tho librarian. " Unemployment made us busier than ever during the winter."
